both.. in context with computers.. obviously, if you're looking for like your keys, you wouldnt say "im googling for my keys." heh

 

[imported_LoKe]

In real life, search; on teh intra web, google.

 

[potato28]

No.

 

[Babbles]

Yes and no. I would say something such as "Go Google up the information." but I don't use it synonymously with 'search' but rather to specifically state to use Google to search for said information.

 

[mcvickj]

No not all the time but I've caught myself doing it from time to time.

 

[MustangSVT]

if that person has access to a computer and have used google before & are asking "what is blah blah?"

I tell them to google it.

 

[Mrvile]

I don't use Google so naturally I don't. I just use "internet search."

Yes, I'm old skool.

 

[OhioState]

i do i dont say hey lets search the web for it i say hey lets google it .

 

[kyparrish]

Yes.

 

[mercanucaribe]

Only when I mean actually using Google.. You have to be stupid to use any other search engine anyway.
